Installing or Removing Optional Modules (Chassis Devices Only)
NOTE: If you are installing redundant management modules (Management II or higher), see "Using Redundant
Management Modules" on page 5-1 for complete installation, configuration, and management instructions for the
modules.

Installing Modules

To install a module in the chassis, do the following:
1. Put on an ESD wrist strap and attach the clip end to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack) to act as
ground.
WARNING: To avoid risk of shock, do not attach the clip end to the air flow panel of the power supply.
2. Remove the blank face plate from the slot in which the module will be installed. Place the blank face plate in
a safe place for future use.
3. Remove the module from its packaging.
4. Insert the module into the chassis slot and slide the card along the card guide until the card ejectors on the
front of the module touch the chassis.
NOTE: Modules for the 8-slot and 15-slot Chassis devices slide in vertically with port number 1 at the top
(Figure 2.4). Modules for the 4-slot Chassis devices slide in horizontally with port number 1 on the left (Figure
2.5).
5. Push the ejectors toward the center of the module until they are flush with the front panel of the module. The
module will be fully seated in the backplane.
6. Tighten the two screws at either end of the module.
CAUTION: If one or more of the slots remains unused, make sure that a slot cover plate is still attached over
each unused slot for safe operation and proper system cooling.
NOTE: If installing a module into a slot previously occupied by a different type of module, you must use the
CLI to configure the new module (use the CLI command module <slot-num> <module-type>) and then use
the write memory command to save the configuration and the reload command to reset the device. See
"Swapping Modules (Chassis devices only)" on page 2-31. If the slot has never contained a module or you
are swapping in exactly the same type of module, you do not need to enter these commands.
